Sitelinks are perceived added value, in that: You dominate the #1 spot with anything up 13 links. You're mixing it with the bigger web properties. If you're running AdWords, you're more likely to score a click, but the click will probably come from your Sitelink rather than the ad', so you save money. For more information on Sitelinks, read the SEO Book article on the subject. Hope that helps, guys...
thanks for sharing guys. btw,before kasapa bumped this thread, the last post was december of last year.
I think google will give sitelinks to the domain which has direct searched keywords in domain, but it doesnt have to mean. I think its just bigger posibillity if you have them that google will generate them eventually. Yes, it can depend on structure, I have classified ads website, which is about selling/buying cars, houses, jobs... And I had those sitelinks in search results, of course, but I have to remove them. My other site is site of my birthplace, and has no competition, and the name of town is top keyword on which people find the site (keyword is in domain name, of course). Somewhere on the web says that you have to have a minimum 10.000 searches per month to get sitelinks, but, thats not true. I get sitelinks when my site was only 8 months I think, had 5000 or 6000 uniques per month, and only 404 visitors last month came using the name of the town.
I have got three sitelinks for one of my sites but at the moment, those sitelinks do not appear in SERPs. I can see them in google webmaster tools. And if you want to get sitelinks, then you need to have excellent internal linking + an 1 year + old domain + some backlinks and add new pages in your site. This is what I think can help to get sitelinks.
I have PE6 of one of my site. But not sitelinks yet. Though I also didn't do any effort to get the sitelinks for my sites. Ok, I will try a bit when I will have time. thanks Ahamed Bauani http://www.bauani.org/
I have sitelinks on a 9 month old domain with PR3. They only show up for certain keywords though - product names and company name mainly.
One of our sites has site links, and it's based on the navigation structure. It makes perfect sense, as the site that has them has a different navigational structure than any of our other sites. The navigation on this site is a bit more complex, and somehow, Google has created an algorithm to detect this. The sitelinks for our site would be a great help to someone looking for information about our products. One sitelink in particular takes users directly to our catalog of railing details and specifications - we want this information to be found as easily as possible, as it is the information that gets our railings specified for commercial construction projects. Awesome job on Google's part here! This is what Google says about sitelinks: "We only show sitelinks for results when we think they'll be useful to the user. If the structure of your site doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks for your site are relevant for the user's query, we won't show them."
